Q: How does the test work?
Early Result In-Stream Pregnancy
Test detects in urine the hormone your body makes during
pregnancy: hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). The
Early Result In-Stream Pregnancy Test
is so sensitive that most women have enough hCG to be
detected as early as 6 days sooner than the day of their
missed period (five days before day of expected period).
The amount of pregnancy hormone increases as
pregnancy progresses. In clinical testing, First Response
Early Result In-Stream Pregnancy Test detected hormone
levels consistent with pregnancy in 62% of women 6 days
before the day of their missed period (5 days before the
expected period), in 78% of women 5 days before the day
of their missed period, in 87% of women 4 days before the
day of their missed period, and in 98% of women
3 days before the day of their missed period and 99%
of women 2 days before the day of their missed period.
Q: When can I do the test?
A: You can test as early as 6 days before your missed
period (5 days before day of expected period). You can
In-stream Pregnancy Test any
time of day. You don’t have to use first morning urine.
Generally, however, your first morning urine contains
the highest level of pregnancy hormone.
Q: How accurate is the First Response Early Result
In-Stream Pregnancy Test?
A: In studies the First Response
Pregnancy Test is over 99% accurate the day before AND
the day your period is due. Note that hormone levels vary:
some women may not have detectable amounts of the
pregnancy hormone (hCG) in their urine on the day they
Q: What do I do if the result is positive (pregnant)?
A: A positive (pregnant) test result shows that the
pregnancy hormone (hCG) was detected. You should see
your doctor to confirm that you are pregnant. Because this
test detects very low levels of hCG, some women may test
positive even if they are not pregnant. For example,
a study of women aged 41-55 showed that 4 out of every
100 women tested positive even though they were not
pregnant. Such “false positive” results in women in this
age group are generally due to a hormone called pituitary
Q: What do I do if the result is negative (not pregnant)?
A: You may not be pregnant, or it may be too early to tell.
If you do not get your period within a few days, you should
retest with another First Response
Test. It is possible that you miscalculated the length of
your cycle or your urine may not have had enough
pregnancy hormone for the First Response
Pregnancy Test to give a positive result. If you retest and
again no hCG is found, and your period has
still not started, you should call your doctor.
Q: I have waited longer than three minutes, and still
there are no lines in the Result Window. Is there
A: Your result should appear within three minutes. There
should be at least one pink line in the Result Window at
five minutes to indicate that the test is completed and that
you have done it correctly. If not, the test is invalid. This
could be due to insufficient urine on the Absorbent Tip or
not holding the device with the Absorbent Tip pointing
downward while replacing the Overcap. You should retest
with another First Response
In-stream Pregnancy Test,
carefully following all directions.
Q: Will the result change if left standing for a certain
A: The test result should be read as soon as possible after
waiting the 3 minutes and within 10 minutes. A negative
result (1 pink line) will last for 10 minutes. After the
10 minute period, disregard any further changes,
it is still a negative result.
Q: Do any drugs or medications affect the test?
A: Only medications containing the pregnancy hormone
(hCG) can affect the result (e.g. A.P.L.
). The test should not be affected by hormone
therapies containing Clomiphene citrate (e.g. Clomid
), alcohol, painkillers, antibiotics or the
